Can you update your profile with the correct information and then tell us how you setup the guest and provide the guest settings?

Thank you, much better.

Since this only happens with Ubuntu 8.04 I suspect that it has to do with the way it handles the Bluetooth adapter. There are a few things that can help.
(1) make sure that you do not use the USB filters to map the bluetooth adapter.
(2) You can remove the bluetooth from the Ubuntu install, if you are not trying to use it.
